1. Please read the users guide before proceeding with your installations.
Serious damage may occur if the procedure is not followed properly.
2. Please make sure that your memory modules are inserted correctly. They can
go in only one way, and should fit completely in the socket without sticking
out.
3. If you have a Pentium 4 motherboard, you need to use an ATX12V power
supply (power supply for Pentium 4 system) is required for the system to
operate normally. (preferably 350 watts for minimal loading or 400 watts for
fully loaded system)
4. If you have any problem getting your system to work, please follow the
troubleshooting tips in your user manual.
5. On some mainboards, the actual chipset heatsink or fan may differ from the
chipset cooler as shown on the picture or on the box. However, the chipset
fan on the mainboard is of the same quality and will work just as well as the
one shown in the picture. (The chipset cooler is as sufficient as the chipset fan
based on different design.)

Installation
To avoid damage to your motherboard, please follow these simple rules
while handling this equipment:
Before handling the motherboard, make sure you are “grounded” before touching
on to an unpainted portion of the system's metal chassis to prevent electrical
discharge.
Installation
Remove the motherboard from its anti-static packaging. Hold the motherboard by
the edges and avoid touching its components.
Check the motherboard for damage. If CPU appears to be loose, gently push the
CPU into the socket.
Follow the directions in this section, which is designed to guide you through a quick and
correct method to install your new motherboard. For detailed information, please refer to
the motherboard User's Manual and Technical Reference online manual on the
CD-ROM package that came with your motherboard.
Gather and prepare all necessary components to complete the installation successfully:
Socket 478 processor with CPU cooling fan (boxed type)
DDR RAM module(s)
Computer case with adequate power supply unit
Monitor
PS/2 or USB Keyboard
Pointing Device (PS/2 or USB Mouse)
Speaker(s) (optional)
Disk Drives: HDD, CD-ROM, Floppy drive…
External Peripherals: Printer and Modem (optional)
Internal Peripherals: Modem and LAN cards (optional)
Note:
If you want to use an external speaker connected to "Line-out" port, please make
sure to use an "amplified speaker" that can generate proper output sound volume.

We will now begin the installation process. Please follow the following
procedure to complete installation properly.
Step 1
- Install the Central Processing Unit (CPU)
Step 2
- Install memory modules

1. Lift the socket handle up a vertical position.
2. Align the blunt edge of the CPU with the matching pinhole edge on the socket.
3. Processor in the socket without forcing.
4. Then close the socket handle to secure the CPU in place.
Remember to connect the CPU Cooling Fan to the appropriate power
connector on the Motherboard. The fan is a key component that
stabilizes the system. It prevents the equipment from overheating and
prolongs the life of your CPU.

SY-P4RS350 / P4RC350
Quick Start Guide
Step 2. Configure Memory
SY-P4RS350
supports two Dual Channels to your memory. Note that you can use
(non-ECC) DDR memory for Dual Channel to work. Also note that for Dual channel to
work 2 or 4 modules of equal size and specifications have to be installed. ECC and
registered memory are not supported.
The largest memory capacity possible is 4GB.
On this motherboard, DRAM speed
can be set independent from the CPU front side bus speed. Note that when installing
4GB of memory, your total memory will be less than 4GB. The reason for this is that the
BIOS, PCI and AGP cards claim part for your CPUs address space.
Installation
Memory Configuration Table
If you want to use the Dual Channel feature, please follow the memory configuration
table below:

Installing your memory in a combination different from the table above will still allow your
system to work. The Dual Channel feature will not work then however.
SY-P4RC350
comes with two DIMM sockets, providing support for up to 2GB of main
memory using unbuffered and non-ECC DIMM modules.

Memory frequency Table for P4RS350/P4RC350
Depending on the front side bus (FSB) frequency of the CPU, you can run memory of
different speeds. Please look at the table below for details:
CPU FSB (MHz) Memory Frequency (MHz) DDR DIMM Type
400 266 PC2100
533 266 or 333 PC2100 or PC2700
800 400 or 320* PC3200 or PC2700
* When using a 800 MHz FSB CPU and PC2700 DDR DIMMs, the memory frequency
runs at 320 MHz (instead of 333 MHz) due to chipset limitations.
Installation
Step 3. Installation of Expansion Cards
The motherboard has 1 AGP slot and 3 PCI slots.
1. Read the instruction document of the related expansion card before inserting the
expansion card into the computer.
2. Press the expansion card firmly into expansion slot in the motherboard.
3. Make sure the metal contacts on the card are correctly seated in the slot.
4. Replace the screw to secure the slot bracket of the expansion card.
5. Install driver for the operating system you use.
Step 4. Connections to the Motherboard
Refer to the following for information on connecting the SY-P4RS350 mainboard’s devices:
